West Texas Warbirds is an annual event hosted in late summer at our club field in Abernathy, TX. This event helps raise awareness and promote the hobby of model aviation to the general public. It helps to honor and remember the heroic men and women who have served their country in military aviation conflict for over a hundred years. And, it provides an opportunity for the modeling community to congregate and meet new modelers. West Texas Warbirds provides a fun, nostalgic and entertaining event for families to enjoy. Expect close viewing of the model aircraft and a full unobstructed view of the flying demonstrations. Early morning flying is limited due to the low angle of the sun. The best times for viewing the aircraft are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Please understand that this is a fair weather event! Flying activity may cease with excessive temperatures, high wind speeds, cross-winds or precipitation. On site BBQ and other food and drinks will be available. It is recommended that spectators bring their own lawn chairs and sunscreen as shade may be limited. The highlight for spectators will be at 1:00 on Saturday, when the flying will stop and modelers will line up their aircraft for display. The participation of the crowd is next, allowing closer inspection of the aircraft, questions and answers with the pilots and voting for the "People's Choice Award." Ballots will be provided for all to submit their vote for their favorite military model aircraft. West Texas Warbirds is a super event for families of school-aged children, scouting and senior groups and will spark the interest of many. General Admission $6.00, kids 12 & under – Free.
